************************************************************************************************************************************************

*Wi-DroIT 2019 – 1st International Workshop on Wireless Drones over  
Internet of Things
Santorini Island, Greece
May 29 - 31, 2019

Link: ​ https://widroit2019.loria.fr

in conjunction with the:
15th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor  
Systems ( ​ DCOSS 2019 ​ )

Workshop papers will get 8 pages in the IEEE proceedings, in the same  
volume with the DCOSS papers.
Few selected papers will be invited to the special issue "​ UAV-Based  
Applications in the Internet of
Things (IoT)​ " of ​ Sensors – Open Access Journal ​ (Impact factor: 2.475)

*Important Dates
Abstract Submission: 1st March
Paper Submission: 8th March
Acceptance Notification: 1st April
Camera Ready: 15th April
Early Registration: 10th April

*Scope
For this workshop, we search for papers that combine design of  
algorithms, optimization, and test-bed to
develop the theoretical foundations for the drone systems operating in  
symbiosis with WSN in IoT
applications. The numerous emergent applications nurtured by IoT may  
require an interdisciplinary
approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations as well as  
different areas, like robotics, artificial
intelligence, mathematical modeling. Applications in complex domains  
lead to situations where multiple
optimization objectives should be accounted in the proposed solutions.  
Decentralized and distributed,
robust and secure algorithms are searched for drones systems that  
operate in rapidly-changing, uncertain,
and potentially adversarial environments.

*Topics (Not limited to)
Autonomous WSN via Drones
Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones
Build Remote Sensing Networks in emergency context via Drones
Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT
Modeling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT
Theoretical foundations for communication routing beyond line-of-sight  
of Drones
Communication and networking aspects of cyber-physical systems
Theoretical foundations for parcel delivery using Drones
Drones/UAVS for monitoring network properties (coverage, connectivity)  
in emergency
Drones for detecting or discovering events
Facility location problem and Resource Management for Drone systems
4G-5G networks and UAVs
UAV assisted networks
Drones for environment (crop/forest) monitoring
Constraints and multi-objective optimization problems in  
UAVsLocalization, navigation, and dynamic path planning of UAVs over IoT
Ground Localization with Drones
Cooperative control of multiple UAVs
UAV secure communication techniques
Optimal UAV deployment strategies
High-accuracy navigation techniques
Real-time surveillance techniques
Performance, scalability, energy, and reliability in Drones' systems
Anomaly detection, network monitoring and forecasting
Trust, security, and privacy
Experimental results, simulators and test beds for drone networks
Cooperative Rendezvous for secure drone to drone communications
Secure communication between the drone and the ground networks
